DHB Māori Health Restructure

The Bay of Plenty District Health Board has proposed to restructure Māori resources and staff across its organisation. We disagree with the options that have been presented.

Primarily, we believe that the regional, policy and planning teams across the DHB should report to both the General Manager and the Māori General Manager together. Integrated approach to healthcare, requires an integrated approach to resources and leadership.
